Rewire Festival

Rewire Festival is an annual international festival for adventurous music, held since 2011 in The Hague, Netherlands. The festival presents a broad program with a focus on contemporary electronic music, neo-classical, new jazz, experimental pop, sound art and multidisciplinary collaborations. It has featured artists such as James Holden, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Ricardo Villalobos and The Field (the band). The 2017 edition will take place on March 31, and April 1 & 2. Venues differ from churches, old factories and abandoned spaces to the more institutional theatres and pop venues. According to Resident Advisor "[The festival] prides itself on musical diversity first and foremost."^[1]

Besides the festival, the organization is focussing on presenting several other affiliated activities year round.
